Speaking after the case, in which he was ordered to be electronically tagged and adhere to a curfew, Mr Gent said: “I’ve tried every painkiller and tablet the doctor can prescribe, and I used to be on really strong steroids.
“But eating and stewing cannabis is the best way to relieve the pain, which is like a constant headache, and a toothache-like ache in my bones.
“I got onto it because the steroids I was taking pushed me up to 33 stone, and I was having heart problems and was worried I might have a heart attack.
“Cannabis is a much more natural way to deal with the disease, I can have it like tea or smoke it, or, when I’m really bad, I eat it. It doesn’t taste very nice, but it helps me move about at least and have some sort of quality of life. It’s just like any other herb, it just happens that this one is illegal.
“I ordered the seeds from the internet and grew it alongside my tomatoes in the greenhouse.”

I have fibromalgia and marijuana is the only relief I can get without totally screwing up my brain,or make me vomit my guts out.Only one incompetent doctor has criticized my choice to use the not quite legal medication, saying "a drug is a drug, it's illegal"(less than 100 miles away it would be legal). A drug is a drug, like opiates that even in small doses reduce me to a zombie, or muscle relaxers that don't work and completly zone me out. Just a little bit of pot, not enough to get me high, does a much better job without any high at all.
